Behavioural Ecology Behavioural Plasticity Evolutionary Biology Animal Communication Conservation Human-Wildlife Interactions

I received a Ph.D. in Biology (speciality Ethology) from the University of Lisbon in 2018.

During the PhD, and as a student member of cE3c, I investigated the relation between animal decision-making and social information. Specifically, my research focused on the effect of intraspecific interactions on mating decisions. Included a theoretical and an experimental approach and was partially conducted at the University of St Andrews. The investigation was supervised by Dr. Susana A.M. Varela, Prof. Anne Magurran, and Prof. Luís Vicente.

Currently, I am an external collaborator at the Evolutionary Ecology Group of cE3c and a postdoctoral researcher at MARE (Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre), ARNET (Aquatic Research Network), and ARDITI (Agência Regional para o Desenvolvimento da Investigação, Tecnologia e Inovação).

I am investigating the ecology and population dynamics of the Critically Endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in the Madeira archipelago (Macaronesia region). This research aims to address the conditions this species faces in insular ecosystems and includes field and laboratory work.

I have worked on environmental management and species conservation throughout my career and was responsible for science dissemination and environmental sensibilization activities.

My main interests are understanding 1) how animals cope with natural and human-induced environmental challenges, 2) evolutionary mechanisms related with decision-making, and 3) engaging citizens and stakeholders to promote human-wildlife coexistence.
